Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Empty Fasting at none against Simple Fasting's 1. Empty Fasting also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). Simple Fasting's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
